Akkaravadisal

Happy Pongal / Sankranti / Lohri !!!

I have heard of Akkaravadisal when I used to be in chennai and have also tasted it in temples as prasadams. But after leaving chennai haven't heard of it. I saw the Akkaravadisal recipe in Rak's kitchen and it brought back memories. So this pongal instead of repeating the traditional Sarkarai pongal I made this Akkaravadisal.

As far as i know akkaravadisal is similar to sarkarai pongal. There are suttle differences like in sarkarai pongal the rice is visible but in akkaravadisal the rice and dal mixture is mashed completely. Also I remember akkaravadisal as oozing with ghee whereas sarkarai pongal doesn't have so much of ghee.
